Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Prepare the fresh peaches by peeling, pitting, and slicing them into manageable pieces. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, organic sugar, cinnamon, corn starch, lemon juice, and nutmeg over the peaches. Gently stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Pour the peach mixture into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the oven for 10 minutes.
Topping Preparation
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, the first amounts of sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Use a pastry blender to cut the Earth Balance® butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a crumbly texture.
- Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring until just combined. It's okay to have some lumps.
Assembly and Baking
- After 10 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven. Gently dollop the prepared topping over the peach layer.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining organic sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cobbler.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
